Brazhko - 3D Character

Brazhko is a stylised game character inspired by Bulgarian folklore, combining visual elements of the Haiduti freedom fighters and the Kukeri ritual guardians. The project was developed as part of a final-year character art portfolio and follows a complete character production pipeline, including concept development, anatomy studies, digital sculpting, retopology, UV unwrapping, hand-painted texturing, and final presentation renders.

The project focused on strengthening core character artist skills such as anatomical understanding, stylised sculpting, topology optimisation, texture creation, and portfolio presentation while exploring the adaptation of traditional cultural themes into a modern game-ready character design.
